This handbook covers every aspect of working with wood, from how to knock a nail without bending it, to cutting a secret haunched mortise and tenon. Dozens of czarefully devised, well-laid out illustrated sequences reduce even difficult joint construction to a simple step-by-step approach. There are 12 woodworking projects presented, and a reference section at the end, which classifies all the world's most useful woodworking timbers with descriptions of their technical properties. Written by a group of lecturers at the London College of Furniture, the book covers all the major woodworking disciplines. The advice the authors offer is tried and tested and, as teachers, they know the importance of avoiding complex explanations when simple ones will do.
